Port Deposit

Port Deposit is a town in Cecil County, Maryland. A Susquehanna River ferry was built at the site in 1729, and the town was plotted as Creswell's Landing in 1812, but renamed to Port Deposit by Governor Levin Winder that same year to prevent confusion resulting from multiple unofficial names. The construction of the Susquehanna Canal led to the town's growth, and it was incorporated in 1824. In 2016, Port Deposit had a population of 767 people.
